You still here ?


Is this your last post? Like the last post before that and the last post before that and last before that.........

I've asked for my account to be deleted, once it is, I'm out of your hair.

Congrats. You've successfully hounded me off here.

Did he say numerous times "this is my last post" ?

Did he say he was leaving ?


I'm merely asking the question.

I'm not posting anything else to do with SLS in order to get the thread back on track. I'm a man of my word and won't be harping back to any SLS posts.

This is my last post regarding SLS.

Oh, wow, man. Thanks very much.

In between telling me I'm laughable, checking whether I am Wayne Bennett, agreeing that I'm hated, telling me to shut the door on my way out, telling me to man up and then mithering me as to why I'm still here, it's been great.

I think SLS is getting a bit confused in his assumption that Sia was playing prop, yes he did adopt to a different task of making hard yards, this was at the time when our pack was being bullied mid season.
If Sia was playing prop as suggested I don,t recall him packing down in the front row, an odd occasion maybe.
Not everyone agrees or "bows down" to St Pete, he goes off the leash sometimes, usually its better to back off if someone can,t get there opinion over after about 3 attempts, otherwise it goes into a slanging fest.
Looking forward to the new season and wondering who Saddened, Saints Fan and St Pete will choose for critique 2015.

Look, I am not 'confused' whatsoever.

I've already explained on umpteen occasions that teams regularly play with three props on a field at any one time nowadays. Where you pack down means little. Wigan lined up with Larne Patrick at loose forward last week, does that make him a loose forward ? Of course not, he was playing as a 3rd prop.

Now, I'd like to drop this subject as I'm sick of it. I'm not confused and I'm certainly not mixed up because he was listed at 'lock' or 'loose' or anything else.

I don't have any gripes with any player personally and as some know some of my best mates play for saints and on the staff. However, if I feel a player is not pulling his weight I'll say so on here.

Isn't that what the forum is for ?


Example last year, I thought Mose was letting the lads down at times and not pulling his weight and being pretty lazy at times, something he himself admitted numerous times as did the likes of Barrie Mac , Brian carney and Tez O'conner.

I'll also be the first to praise someone if they play well. I started a thread last season about how well Mose had started to play.

It's called opinions. Some people are happy to read the threads and others prefer to voice their opionon.

I have never ever made a scapegoat of any player. I'm one of the very few that backed lance and even Josh perry at times. I'll fully support any player in the red vee no matter what but I'll also voice my opinions, as do others.

I think the difference of opinion is stemming from the definition of the term 'playing prop'. It seems SLS is saying that although Soliola was named in the second row he was playing a prop role, rather than named as a prop. Other posters seem to be disagreeing due to the fact he was named at second row and his role did still encapsulate some of the responsibilities of a second rower, whilst conceding he did do work through the middle channel too.

Soliola definitely did do some prop work despite being named in the second row, he took hit ups off the kick offs quite regularly from memory, especially when we were missing some players up front. However, he was never named as a prop on the team sheet from what I can recall.

It actually seems that mostly everyone is agreeing with each other in terms of the role he played but getting stuck on the fact that there is differing opinions on the definition of position.

That's probably about right.

Are you in charge on here ? Would you please deactivate my account ? I can't find anywhere that'll let me do it myself. Thanx.
